How to Graduate

Learn what you need to do to complete your degree and graduate from Evergreen.

Awarding of Degrees

You must be formally admitted to Evergreen and apply for graduation in order to be awarded a degree. You must resolve any holds on your account before you can apply to graduate. If you have holds, see the to-do box on your my.evergreen.edu home page for more information.

Hundreds of students graduate each quarter so your degree may be awarded several weeks after your requirements are met. If you need a transcript with your degree on it, place an official transcript order which will prompt the degree to be awarded as quickly as possible. If you have extenuating circumstances which require confirmation of your degree but do not require a transcript, please email your situation to registration@evergreen.edu so we can help you.

To participate in the graduation ceremony and to receive your diploma, your account will be automatically billed a $40 graduation fee, which you can pay online through my.evergreen.edu. (Go to Web Payment, select “Make a Payment” and add the outstanding balance to your basket.)

Academic Statement

All undergraduate students admitted or re-admitted Fall 2013 or after are required to submit an Academic Statement to graduate. If you were admitted before Fall 2013 or you are a graduate student, you are encouraged, but not required, to submit your Academic Statement.

Diplomas

If you participate in the graduation ceremony, you will be presented with a diploma cover as you cross the stage. Your actual diploma will be mailed before or after the ceremony, depending on when you your degree is awarded. To receive your diploma, your degree must be awarded, have no holds on your account, and have all outstanding balances paid in full. Fall or winter graduates may receive their diplomas prior to the ceremony. Spring and summer graduates will receive their diplomas after the ceremony.

Diplomas are mailed to the address given on the graduation application. If you need proof of graduation before your diploma arrives, you may request a graduation certificate from Registration. You must have no holds on your account to receive a graduation certificate.

Replacement diplomas are available. The cost is $25 each for standard service (2 to 4 weeks) or $40 each for rush service (1 to 2 weeks). Diplomas shipped internationally cost $40. You may order and pay for your replacement diploma online through the Transcripts and Diploma Orders link in my.evergreen.edu. If you do not have a current my.evergreen.edu account, you may request a former student (alumni) account.
